Background to the Guide

In 2013, GSMA published the production of the first Guide to Setting Up an Internet Hotline. This was developed in the framework of the GSMA Mobile Alliance Against Child Sexual Abuse Content, in cooperation with INHOPE and with expert contributions from many organisations that operate or work with Internet Hotlines on a daily basis. Navigate here for information on contributors.

In 2015, in order to bring the guide to an even wider audience and provide a platform for new and expanded information regarding hotline development and hotline operations, INHOPE joined forced with UNICEF and GSMA to develop this online guide.

The guide aims to share the experience of the INHOPE Foundation supporting Internet hotline development around the world. Crucially, it also aims to reflect the collective expertise of the global INHOPE network of hotlines and partner organisations across the sectors.
